settling in...sort of

We're settling in as a family of 3 around here and it is taking a lot of work! Sorry for the lack of posts, I'm working on two big ones and one of them is a doozy.

Things I've learned in the last 25 days:
1. Don't get dressed until you're sure the kid is done spitting up.
2. You will have sympathy pains for your baby (i.e. I have developed reflux).
3. There is nothing better than looking at your baby and knowing how much they already love you.
4. That without music, days can be sad.
5. To be flexible (OK so I haven't learned this yet, but I'm working on it).
6. That babies are flexible.
7. That as soon as you have a baby, you will immediately lose all knowledge of how to care for a kid and you'll want your mommy.
8. That the Moby Wrap is the most valuable thing that we own right now, besides her of course.
9. Shit happens (I'm being literal here...) over and over again and you should buy stock in diaper companies.
10. And finally, that no matter how much you think you're going to love your baby, you can multiply it by 200 and still not even be close to what you will really feel. And you'll never understand it until it happens. I think that's something special that God gives only to mothers and fathers.
